        First aeroplane fuselage made of thermoplastic

        The world's largest aircraft component made of thermoplastic: DLR produces an eight-metre-long upper shell for an aircraft fuselage made of carbon fibre-reinforced PAEK.

        Milestone for more sustainable aviation: MFFD - thermoplastics instead of aluminium in aircraft construction

        For decades, aluminium has proven its worth in the construction of aircraft and production has been constantly optimised. However, this is no longer sufficient for sustainable and climate-friendly aviation. New solutions are needed at all levels to make aviation more sustainable.

        26.06.2023 - CompositesWorld

        Manufacturing the MFFD thermoplastic composite fuselage

        Demonstrator’s upper, lower shells and assembly prove materials and new processes for lighter, cheaper and more sustainable high-rate future aircraft.
